bob dmr Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Basically I'm after some new bmx bb 3pc cranks for my dmr rhythm. Their seems to be so many to choose from these days i haven't got a clue which ones to get.I have the old style profiles at the moment, and i would prefer something a bit lighter. Can any one recommend a good crank set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Depends mainly on budget. How much you thinking of parting with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob dmr Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) Depends mainly on budget. How much you thinking of parting with?some where between 100 and 200 i think. after taking up trials I've realised how much easier it is to ride on a lighter bike.

forteh Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) Which profiles have you got? The SS ones were much heavier than the race ones. IMHO profiles are the best bmx cranks and no heavier than any others, I got some primo powerbites instead of some profiles and they were heavier and always coming loose - got profiles on my standard now.If you have profile race now then I would keep them and possibly invest in a lighter axle (sure they do titanium bb spindles for profiles) edit: yup profile do titanium spindles for the cranks, titanium spindle will set you back 80 quid.....

Lawnmowerman Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just go for wethepeoples or primos mate. They all do the same thing and cost a lot less than profiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 If you've got a US BB, you could go for some 22mm options which might make more sense. Either Odyssey Wombolts (22mm spindle) or Primo Hollowbites (again, 22mm spindle) would be a sound investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyklist Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Odyssey Wombolts for the win.Light and strong. Bought a set when they were released and rode them ever since. Recently sold that bike though but I've ordered a new set for my next bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
